Da Qin: We just traveled through time and you proclaimed yourself emperor in Rome

Chapter 152 The old Qin people destroyed a city in one night

Wang Jian was holding a map in his hand, thinking about how to continue this battle.

At this moment, we are facing a very serious problem, that is, there are too many enemy troops. 1000 million pigs cannot be killed in a while, let alone humans.

Daqin is playing away from home and has little advantage, so it must not drag on.

He had sent some scouts before to make sure there were no ambushes around, but the battlefield was changing rapidly and accidents could happen at any time.

"Were so many people lost?"

Wang Jian frowned slightly.

I thought that only 2 or [-] people would die in battle, but I didn't expect that the number would double.

"There are really too many people on the other side. There are often more than a dozen soldiers hunting our soldiers. Moreover, the opponent's body has been systematically amplified, and its defense has been enhanced."

Wang Ping said helplessly.

"Is there enough poison this time?" Wang Jian said coldly.

The simplest way is of course to poison. Poisoning everyone in a city 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 Dynasty would have such a large population.

Moreover, Great Qin's attack on the Maurya Dynasty was a blitzkrieg, which would not delay for too long, and the poison worked very slowly, and its effect was extremely limited.

"Prepare some combustion-supporting materials, think of a way to attack with fire, and then use all the poisons you brought. Kill a group of people first and then talk about other things." Wang Jian thought for a moment and then ordered.

mean?

Maybe, but war has always been like this, and it has never been mean or despicable.

Besides, the other party is a barbarian, not even a human being, so there is no need to follow the rules.

"General, before we set off for the expedition, Master Zhang reminded him several times that he must leave more slaves for him." Wang Ping said quietly.

If Zhang Han were here, he would be sore to death.

These are high-quality slaves, and every time one dies, one is lost.

"What are you afraid of? The titles of the Mauryan Dynasty are enough to produce a steady stream of slaves for him to use." Wang Jian said casually, with a strange look on his face.

Throughout the ages, Zhang Han was probably the only one who could not bear to be a slave.

"By the way, deliberately create a gap to give the enemy a chance to escape, thereby disrupting their morale." He continued to give instructions to the soldiers next to him.

After doing all this, he took a pillow and lay down on the chariot to rest without saying a word.

There was no fighting last night, but he had been working hard and urgently needed rest. As a general, he is the brains of the entire army and must maintain full energy.

At this moment, the Lord of Kashubi City dragged his exhausted body and ran back and forth on the city wall.

He had to pay a huge price 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 losses caused by this battle, his whole face was completely ashen.

"70 people died in the battle, 30 people died of excessive bleeding, nearly a million people, nearly a million people, how is this possible, a million people died overnight?" The city lord took a breath.

Later generations of time-travelers brought advanced medical technology, but theory is one thing, and putting theory into practice is another. It is simply impossible to popularize basic medical care in just one year.

Not to mention hemostatic medicine, there is not even a hemostatic bandage here.

Except for some medicinal herbs dug in the mountains, it all depends on the perseverance of the soldiers.

"Lord City Lord, what should we do? If we continue like this, we will definitely be defeated. There is no possibility of a comeback. When the Qin soldiers come back to rest, they will definitely launch another sprint. Every time we sprint, we will pay a huge price."

The general of the city lord's palace stood nearby, looking in horror at the Qin soldiers encamped in the distance.

They also thought about taking this opportunity to launch a sneak attack to disrupt Da Qin's plan, but they had paid more in this battle than Da Qin, and they needed to rest more urgently.

Moreover, sending out soldiers at this time is equivalent to sending death, and it is impossible to achieve the purpose of harassing Qin soldiers. Rather than doing this, it is better to reduce casualties.

"Have the spies sent out to ask for reinforcements? Has this news been passed to the Peacock Imperial City?" The city lord sat weakly on the ground, holding his messy hair with both hands.

The whole person is like a rubber ball that has run out of air. He tries hard to cheer up, but he can't get back to his state no matter what. This feeling can almost drive people crazy.

"Replying to your lord, we have sent people to ask for help. Da Qin deliberately opened a gap, as if he is not afraid that the news here will be leaked." The soldier said immediately.

The city lord was startled, and then quickly realized, "It's not that the Qin soldiers are not afraid of the news leaking out, but they are helpless because they know they can't stop so many people, and they deliberately opened a gap to disturb our mentality."

I knew Qin Bing was doing it on purpose, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Fortunately, the war has just begun and the morale of the people has not been shattered yet.

But it can be expected that as time goes by, some people will start to escape.

"Pass my order and send an army to seal the gap. No matter what, the morale must not be disrupted. This battle can only be won but not defeated. Even if everyone dies here, they must not escape."

The city lord clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and spoke decisively.

He secretly said, since this city lord cannot leave, then you must not leave either!

Yesterday, he wanted to take the opportunity to leave several times, but he keenly discovered that there were several eyes staring at him secretly. Anyone who dared to leave the city wall would definitely be assassinated.

Just as a few people were talking, fire suddenly shot into the sky at the city gate.

"what!"

The city lord didn't have time to rest, so he quickly stood up and looked under the city wall. There was a group of Qin soldiers holding oil and various combustion aids in their hands, setting fire to the city.

"Let them burn it. Such a small fire won't do much good."

Seeing that the army was not coming to attack, he let out a long breath, with a sneer in his eyes.

The city covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand miles. If you want to burn it with fire, what else would you be like if you weren't an idiot?
"Lord City Lord, we have investigated clearly. The opponent's general's name is Wang Jian, and he is a famous general in Great Qin."

A soldier rolled down from the city wall and spoke in horror.

During these days, the Mauryan Dynasty was naturally not idle. While deploying troops and developing science and technology, it was also investigating the details of Da Qin.

One of them was named Wang Jian, and his name sounded like thunder.

"It's actually this person?" The city lord was slightly startled, with surprise in his eyes.

There was no fear in the depths of his eyes, but a hint of thought.

If you kill this person.
You can definitely get a reward, and then get an official title!
Moreover, as far as he knew, another general of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian, ​​had been besieged in the Baicheng Dynasty. If Meng Tian and Wang Jian could be killed at the same time, it would be equivalent to cutting off Qin Shihuang's right and left arm, which would greatly weaken the strength of the Qin Dynasty.

It plays an extremely important role in the final battle.

"Pass on my order, whoever can capture Wang Jian's head will be rewarded with tens of millions of dollars, and the youngest daughter of the city lord will be rewarded to him. From now on, he will rise and sit with me. In addition, I will also give him a reward in front of King Asoka. His kind words!”

After the city lord figured out all this, he waved his hand and spoke decisively without any hesitation.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the soldiers around him suddenly lit up.

The city lord's youngest daughter has a graceful figure. She is a rare beauty. Who doesn't want to get it?
Not to mention the chance to be on an equal footing with the city lord, it was like a chicken or a dog ascending to heaven. Immediately, the soldiers did not care about rest, and started to kill towards Da Qin's military camp, howling.

A smile appeared on the city lord's face, hiding the amusement in his eyes very well.

It's a pity that these people went and died quickly. In just a moment, nearly a thousand people fell in a pool of blood and lost their lives. They were completely unable to pose a threat to the Qin soldiers.

Stimulated by death, the soldiers of the Maurya Dynasty woke up one after another, and no one dared to step forward again.

The next day.

The sky is bright.

The city lord struggled to open his eyes. For some reason, he felt his brain was a little groggy.

At first I didn't take it to heart, thinking that I was too tired, but when I accidentally discovered that everyone around me was like this, and I felt dizzy when I stood up, and it was difficult to walk in a straight line, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. premonition.

He quickly picked up the knife and stabbed it into the palm of the guard next to him without hesitation.
Ah!
The sharp stinging pain instantly restored clarity to the guard.

"Go quickly and get a basin of cold water for me, General!" the city lord shouted with difficulty.

After the soldiers got ice water, he plunged his head into the water and slowly recovered.Before he could speak, he suddenly noticed that there was a piercing cry of killing coming from the city.

He immediately stood up from the ground, staggered to the city wall, looked down, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes split instantly.

"Damn it, who can tell this general what happened? Why did the Qin soldiers attack?"

The city lord's face was filled with dullness.

My brain was still in standby mode and I didn't react for a while.

"Lord City Lord, we have been unconscious for nearly three hours!"

"These Qin soldiers were so despicable. They used the flames to cover up the smoke and released a coma-causing drug. All the guards on the city wall fell into a coma."

Pian Jiang woke everyone up one by one and exclaimed.

The city lord's face darkened and he didn't care what to say. He was about to give an order when he found that the soldiers at the city gate had turned black and looked like they were poisoned.

Obviously, Da Qin didn't just use one kind of poison, but mixed several kinds at the same time.

"The Qin soldiers are so strong, but they are still so shameless. It's really hateful. Give me the order quickly and you have to fight to the death to resist!" The city lord roared angrily.

However, when he turned around and looked in the direction of the city, he was completely dumbfounded.

Originally, although a war broke out outside the city, except for the tense atmosphere inside the city, everything was still peaceful. But at this moment, a war broke out in the city, and no one knew how many Qin soldiers came in through the city gate.

As far as the eye can see, there are corpses everywhere, and the blood makes the sky slightly red.

Every time I took a deep breath, I felt countless blood seeping into my nose.

"In one day, in just one day, the Qin army broke through the defense of our Maurya Dynasty?" The city lord raised his head in confusion and looked at the torrent of steel in the distance in disbelief.

Vaguely, he saw a huge black bird battle flag.

Under the black bird war flag, there is a chariot, which is protected by everyone.

On the chariot, there is a black figure. Due to the distance, it is difficult to see the appearance of this person clearly, but it is guessed that this person should be the legendary Great Qin War God Wang Jian.

At this moment, I thought a lot in my mind. I thought about the future of the Maurya Dynasty and the outcome of this battle, and my mind was in chaos.

For some reason, I had a vague feeling that maybe the Maurya Dynasty would lose this battle.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Our Mauryan Dynasty has nearly [-] million people, and we have also obtained the title of reproduction. How can the Great Qin compare with my Mauryan Dynasty?" The city lord's eyes turned red instantly.

No matter what, he couldn't accept the result of defeat in this battle.

After taking a deep breath, he tried to regain some composure and continued to stand on the city wall and give instructions. However, as time passed, his heart completely sank to the bottom.

The Qin soldiers were so powerful that they were almost invincible.

This is the result of the 90% increase in the physical fitness of the soldiers of the Maurya Dynasty. If there was no increase, I am afraid they would not be the opponent of Great Qin.

After nearly five hours, the city was completely breached.

boom!
Half of the city walls were forcibly pushed down by the Qin soldiers.

"Damn it, why did the city wall crack so easily?" A trace of disbelief flashed in the city lord's eyes, looking at the Qin Bing in front of him as if he were looking at a devil.

This is a city wall made of reinforced concrete, not ordinary stone.

"Idiot, you don't even know that cracks will appear in rocks when exposed to water at high temperatures. Are the travelers from your country illiterate?"

A contemptuous voice sounded, and the city lord was slightly shocked. He suddenly discovered that a soldier wearing jet black armor was heading directly towards him.

What is not recorded in the history books is that ordinary soldiers in the Qin Dynasty do not need to study, but soldiers above the rank of captain must take an assessment every year. If they fail the assessment, they will be demoted.

After the national war system was opened, it involved the study of a variety of disciplines.

It is no exaggeration to say that each of these captains of thousands and ten thousand in Da Qin is no less educated than a high school student.

"Stop him, stop him quickly, it's bullshit high temperature, bullshit low temperature." The city lord's legs weakened and he fell to the ground in fright, but this also allowed him to avoid a fatal blow.

The soldiers nearby quickly stepped forward and surrounded him to protect him.

Under the city wall, a steady stream of Qin soldiers appeared, killing them all.

The city was blazing with flames, a scene of doomsday.

Logically speaking, a battle involving tens of millions of people could not end so hastily, but the problem was that the Mauryan Dynasty was really too weak.

This war seemed to involve more than 300 million people, but at full estimate, it was only [-] million.

Most of the people in the city were ordinary people. Before the advent of the national war system, these people were, to say the least, trash. Their strength was naturally not on the same level as that of the Qin soldiers.

The physique has indeed been enhanced, but combat experience and adaptability are the decisive factors.

"This time our Great Qin sent a total of 200 million soldiers. Two million soldiers. It is not an exaggeration to say that they came out in full force. What qualifications does his little Peacock Dynasty have to resist?"

Wang Jian stood on the chariot, looking into the distance with deep eyes. Although Da Qin had won an overwhelming victory, deep in his eyes, he was still full of vigilance.

As long as a moment is not over, an accident may occur. This is a bloody lesson.

As for why they were able to successfully attack the city so quickly, it was naturally because of the poison.

First, odor-based poisons were used to stun the city lord on the city wall, making it impossible for people to react in time. Then they used lethal drugs to poison the soldiers at the city gate. Then they broke open the city gate and the army marched in.

It's not that he doesn't want to take the opportunity to kill the city lord, but there are countless people guarding him under the city wall, and he won't be able to kill him for a while.

The poison has a limited range of action and cannot cover a wide range of people.

As for lethal poisons, almost all of them cause blood, so the only option is to stun them.

"Pass this general's order to attack with the entire army. There is no need to leave anyone alive. Just go on a killing spree. Kill as many as you can, but remember to keep our casualties to a minimum."

Wang Jian waved his hand gently and ordered to the soldiers behind him.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the millions of logistics soldiers behind him immediately lit up. They all geared up, picked up the weapons next to them, and rushed onto the battlefield with howls.

These people had almost never been on the battlefield, so Wang Jian did not rush to let them fight in this unprecedented battle, but waited until now.

At the end of the war, I just went up to practice my skills.

Great Qin has precise regulations for this group of recruits. They can only obtain 70.00% of military merit, because they will be less dangerous when they go to the battlefield later.

After all, if the beginning and the end were the same, with military merit, then who would be willing to fight hard at the front?

"Give me the order to retreat. If you just abandon the city and flee, you still have some chance of survival. If you continue to stay here, I'm afraid you will really die."

The city lord stood on the city wall, a hint of loneliness flashed across his expression.

Never would I have thought that the first war between Great Qin and the Maurya Dynasty would break out here, and they would be defeated so completely.

"General, if we abandon the city and flee, King Ashoka will definitely be angry when he learns the news."

"Yes, if we leave at this time, we will really be deserters."

The men next to him started to persuade him.

Whether in the Qin Dynasty or in the West, the punishment for deserters was extremely severe.

"Being a deserter will end badly, but it's better than dying here directly."

The city lord sighed and seemed to have aged dozens of years for a moment.

My heart was full of annoyance. If I hadn't just been waiting to die, but instead trained my soldiers every day, this would never have been the ending.

"Lord City Lord, I don't think we need to escape at this time. Instead, we should send out false news and tell the soldiers in the city that reinforcements are coming to fight Da Qin to the death." Someone said.

"I also think we should stay. The Qin soldiers have one of their biggest weaknesses, that is, they are isolated and helpless. They cannot afford to delay this war. The longer it is delayed, the greater our advantage will be."

As more and more people came forward, helplessness appeared on the face of the city lord.

How could he not know such a simple truth to consume the strength of the Qin army as much as possible and buy time for other cities to respond?
But the problem is
He wants to take advantage of the chaos and run away!

He is not a fool and knows that if he stays here, he will probably die.

It took a lot of effort to get to this position, and I paid an unknown amount of gold. I will die before my butt gets hot, and no one wants to let me go!
