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

Chapter 391 The Mauryan Dynasty’s Counterattack

On the main battlefield in the south.

When the 60,000 elite army rushed into the already panicked 80,000 army.

The entire battlefield is like cutting tofu with a steel knife.

In a short period of time, the Mauryan army was beaten to pieces.

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

Having their way back blocked was a heavy blow, crushing all their hopes.

Except for some scattered soldiers on both sides, they were able to bypass the siege.

No one can escape from the battlefield.

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

These twelve cities are not the small cities that Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu captured a few days ago in a feint attack to lure back 100,000 border troops.

Rather, they are twelve veritable western main cities of the Mauryan Dynasty.

And at the same moment.

Zhang Han looked at this scene with satisfaction.

It turns out that Wang Ting is not weak.

At that time, the hatred between the two countries will no longer be caused by his small suggestion.

And in his opinion, the defense line he set up was an excellent place to defend against enemies.

The Da Qin soldiers who were beaten were a little carried away.

"They are the subordinates of Demon King Bo Xun, and they must have come to drag us to hell."

Chief Zhiti was very satisfied with the soldiers' remarks.

With the encouragement of the Zhiti clan leader, the news of the demon king's attack was continuously passed on to these soldiers who fled westward.

Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu, Wang Li, Yixie Haoyang.

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

Battles have destroyed ancient times and ruins, and there is never a single enemy.

……

After twenty-seven major and minor battles, he killed tens of thousands of enemies.

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

Zhang Han had no intention of pursuing him any further.

With a speed that the Maurya Dynasty had no time to react, they captured twelve cities in a row.

The entire Maurya dynasty became suspicious.

This is the normal combat power of a farming dynasty.

This is equivalent to eating up one-tenth of the territory of the Maurya Dynasty (a little larger than the southward range of Pakistan today).

This feeling is like encountering the final boss just after leaving the novice village.

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

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

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

The northwest land of Maurya.

Yi Xiehaoyang often burst into tears.

People in Buddhism have predicted that King Asoka killed too many people, which may attract the prying eyes of the devil.

This time it didn't play any role. It would be a waste to just give up and continue heading west.

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

But I didn't expect it to be in the mountains and forests of the west.

The leader of the Zhiti clan rushed out to pick up the scattered soldiers regardless of the danger.

Divide into three routes and head south quickly.

It's all just bad luck.

But the escaped Zhiti clan leader got what he wanted from the mouths of these scattered soldiers.

At the beginning, they were led to pick the strongest opponent.

Now that the rumors have been confirmed again, the God King absolutely cannot bear it.

Furious, he will definitely send troops to conquer it himself.

Relying on the defense line, the strength of the Maurya Dynasty was almost exhausted, and then decisively marched westward to attack the hinterland.

It is entirely possible to wait for the next wave of reinforcements from the Maurya Dynasty.

Zhang Liang still believes that when expanding the army, safety should be the priority.

After all, Kushan only had 20,000 defenders left behind.

If they penetrated too far into the Maurya Empire, they would lose their connection with the Kushans.

If Naparthia takes the opportunity to expand eastward, the Kushan land will be lost.

By then the Maurya Dynasty will also react, and it is likely to form a situation of flanking the two sides.

Even if they have 100,000 cavalry, it will be difficult to fight on both sides when their backs are empty and they lose supplies.

But Xiang Yu didn't think so.

After he saw with his own eyes the fighting strength of the Maurya soldiers.

He excitedly changed his original plan.

Directly set the strategic goal to defeat the Maurya Dynasty.

Cross directly from the central part of Maurya Dynasty and arrive at Daqin West Port.

After meeting Zhang Han, report to His Highness.

Request assistance from the garrison stationed in southern Qin.

Then he turned around and wiped out the entire Mauryan Dynasty in one fell swoop.

"That was our goal from the beginning."

"And it's easier to implement now. Why don't you agree, sir?"

Zhang Liang looked anxious.

"That's because at that time it was judged that another force was fighting against the Maurya Dynasty."

"We can do this through their chaos."

"But now another force suddenly disappeared."

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

"It's so weird, it's probably the bragging that the person made at that time to intimidate us!"

"After all, the Maurya Dynasty had millions of troops and a vast territory."

"If another force has false information, we have unclear information and unclear geography."

"If you go in headfirst, you will only be led by their noses."

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

With the strength currently displayed by the Maurya Dynasty, there is no way to stop their army.

But Zhang Liang was always worried about changes in Parthia behind him.

Moreover, he found that the soldiers under his command were becoming more and more arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

Even a corps commander does not take the Maurya Dynasty seriously now.

Zhang Liang was secretly worried.

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

If this continues, the enemy will most likely seize the opportunity and usher in a major defeat.

Zhang Liang now wants to retreat more and more.

Not to mention Xiang Yu's army, even the 50,000 barbarians who came to support Yixiehaoyang no longer wanted to leave.

Continuous victories once again aroused their bloodthirsty hearts.

All they could think about at the moment was the constant attack on the city.

After conquering the city several times, before they could rest, there were soldiers shouting about where to attack next.

It seems to be very powerful, but secretly it is laying the foundation for disaster.

Zhang Liang, who was wary in his heart, was now only thinking about how to restore the soldiers to normal.

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

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

Zhang Liang can also take this opportunity to retreat temporarily and wait for the news to spread back to the country.

After His Highness gives the order, we will attack together with the East.

Even if there are no other so-called forces by then, it will be easy to sweep away the Maurya Dynasty.

Xiang Yu was helpless. He understood Zhang Liang's thoughts.

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

If you don't take all enemies seriously, you will only become braver and stronger as you fight.

By advancing eastward in this way, there is a high probability that we can complete the penetration of the Maurya Dynasty.

Just this one move, no matter whether His Highness wants to continue to attack the Maurya Dynasty in the future.

This country does not dare to disturb Da Qin in the slightest.

The shock of 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 this move on hold for now.

Turn around and direct the army to deploy in all directions.

Prepare to face the Maurya counterattack.

……

In the next few days, the surroundings of the Maurya Dynasty were unusually quiet.

And in the eastern capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, the palace of Hua Clan.

Ashoka was sitting above him, but his face was already ashen.

The battle report from the northwest direction of the dynasty has been sent back.

The ministers who had been sent down were whispering to each other and making a mess.

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

It was even directly counterattacked by the other party into its own country.

This Kuishang is simply audacious and almost crazy.

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

But what is more important at this moment is how to resist these ignorant and ignorant small tribes who dare to resist the Maurya Dynasty.

All the ministers lowered their heads and whispered for a long time, then secretly raised their heads to see what Asoka's intention was.

But Ashoka remained silent. His eyes looked fiercely outside the hall.

Until the Prime Minister stepped forward carefully and spoke first.

"God King, that small Kushan tribe is ignorant and fearless. Not only did they not surrender after being warned by our dynasty, they even dared to resist."

"I believe that it is necessary to send a large army to completely wipe them out."

"Only in this way can we show that we are listening correctly and enhance our national prestige as a peacock."

After hearing this, Ashoka finally lowered his head.

Scanning the powerful officials.

Leng Yan said.

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

"A little Guishan dares to be so rampant."

"If I don't destroy it this time, how will the Western countries look at me?"

"Then how can I, the Mauryan Dynasty, eat Bactria?"

Ashoka narrowed his eyes and looked sternly at every minister in the hall.

"Since I can completely unify the surrounding areas."

"It will make the Maurya Dynasty more powerful."

"Send the order and gather the army."

"This king wants to conquer in person again!"

After the words fell, many ministers were suddenly shocked.

King Ashoka wanted to mobilize the military forces of the country again.

This is about to start the non-stop killing again.

Suddenly, many ministers hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"The God King is not allowed!"

"Now that the various places have just been settled, if you go on an expedition in person, what if some evil dynasty cannot afford it?"

But who knows, these words made Ashoka's eyes widen.

"Ok?"

"You mean, if you attack a small Guishan clan, it will be difficult for me to win even if you go away?"

The Prime Minister also shouted loudly.

"How dare you make such wild remarks?"

"If the God King personally conquers the enemy, he will definitely be invincible."

"Let alone a little Guishuang, even if there is an enemy a hundred times more powerful, he will be frightened to pieces."

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

Although they were also words of persuasion, the Prime Minister's words sounded much nicer.

As expected, Ashoka's expression softened a bit when he was on the verge of anger.

The minister who spoke was trembling violently when he reacted.

He fell to his knees with a plop.

"Wei Chen has no intention of cursing!"

He hurriedly followed the Prime Minister's words and argued.

"Weichen just feels that a small Guishuang is not enough for the God King to visit in person."

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

"Now in this world, even the Western countries know that the God King is invincible."

"Except for a foolish Kushan, who would dare to provoke the Maurya Dynasty again?"

"The God-King committed suicide just for a small clan, which lowered your prestige."

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

He was just about to ask who should be sent to destroy Guishuang.

But at this moment, an emergency report suddenly came from outside the palace.

"Report!"

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

"The army of one hundred thousand was defeated several times by the enemy, and finally they were all surrounded at the foot of Mount Noah."

"The soldiers who escaped also said that the enemies were not human."

"Yes~ He is the subordinate of Demon King Bo Xun. He knows no pain and is not afraid of life and death."

"The soldiers can't fight at all!"

After the words fell, the main hall, where the atmosphere finally relaxed, completely fell into the ice cave.

Ashoka's face twisted together instantly.

"What did you say? All 100,000 troops were captured?"

"Return to the Demon King's command? Why didn't they say Bo Xun was coming in person?"

There was a sound of "Bang!"
Ashoka lined up the desk in front of him and continued to ask through gritted teeth.

"What about the ten thousand cavalry?"

"What did they do?"

The messenger soldier raised his head slightly and said anxiously.

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

Hearing this, Ashoka was already laughing angrily.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"One Kushan and one Qin?"

"One east and one west, don't take the Maurya Dynasty seriously at all!"

"This king has been fighting for his whole life, pushing the Maurya Dynasty to its peak step by step."

"Now, even two unknown small countries dare to bully them wantonly!"

Looking at the furious Ashoka, the Prime Minister also closed his eyes in despair.

Now, no one can stop the God King from conquering.

If you dare to stop her with words at this time, you will only end up with a tragic death.

The other ministers also sighed with stiff expressions.

No one expected that the eastern and western armies would be defeated at the same time.

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

The next moment, everyone only heard Ashoka yell loudly.

"Send the order!"

"Call the whole army."

"Fifty thousand cavalry, 5 infantry, 9000 chariots, and war elephants will all follow my king eastward."

"I want to destroy the Qin Kingdom on the east side first."

"Let's go back and expedition to Kushan land!"

"This time, I want the world to see the army of my Maurya Dynasty."

"How powerful is it!"

……

When the Maurya Dynasty completely mobilized the country's troops to fight against the two major enemies.

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

A boy stares at the steam pouring from a blast furnace.

Concentrate on it, as if those gases are some great good thing.

Since Ying Xuan left last time.

Ying Xiang would run to the steelmaking site every day and stare 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 specifically.

In order to facilitate the craftsmen here to make steel, water is used.

Teng Wan then led Yushui Branch from the north of Panyang City over.

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

Today is the time when the water wheel officially comes into use.

Lu Hui wanted to take Ying Xiang with him, so that this young man could witness it and worship him.

When Ying Xiang was involuntarily pulled to the riverside of a tributary of Yushui.

The huge waterwheel, several meters high, has started to rotate.

Along with the wooden buckets, the water is brought to high places, and then flows along the wooden pipes to all directions.

Lu Hui nodded with satisfaction.

There is such a waterway.

Within the steelmaking site, there is no need to spend a lot of manpower to fetch water from distant places all day long!

Lu Hui raised her eyebrows and showed off to Ying Xiang beside her.

This made Ying Xiang smile helplessly.

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

Look at this waterwheel being pushed by the current.

The truth is so simple, there is nothing to be proud of.

But think about it for a moment, why such a simple thing was only created now.

I heard that Lu Hui was the one who made it after being awakened by His Highness.

Ying Xiang sighed.

But still no interest.

Somewhat absent-mindedly, he sat under a tree.

Watching the clouds reflected in the clear river water, they followed the river water into the water tank.

Want to doze off.

Lu Hui beside him did not interrupt.

He just saw that Ying Xiang was getting into trouble again, so he wanted to make him relax.

The flowers were fragrant and the birds were singing all around. Ying Xiang fell asleep as he looked at it.

But in sleep.

He seemed to see the clouds turning into masses of air, replacing the water flow, pushing the waterwheel to rotate continuously.
