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

Chapter 153 This ancestor is too strong
It is true that the city has a large population, but there is only quantity but no quality. Even if they stay here to fight to the death, they may not be able to consume much of Da Qin's strength, but they may become cannon fodder.

On the first day, Qin destroyed nearly 70 people in the Mauryan Dynasty.

The next day, millions were killed.

If we persist for another ten days and a half at most, everything will be over. For the vast ancient times, half a month is nothing, and it is not enough to change the situation of the war.

"But have you ever thought about it, if everyone escapes and reaches the next city safely, then we can unite our forces to better deal with Da Qin."

"I have given up my intention and there is no need to continue to persuade. All the food, grass and fresh water in the city must be destroyed and must not be left to the Qin soldiers."

After taking a few deep breaths, the city lord spoke decisively.

The generals nearby saw the murderous look in the city lord's eyes, but they still gritted their teeth and said, "Mr. City lord, 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 lead some people to pretend to escape and draw away the firepower of the Qin soldiers. Then you will defend the city and find a suitable opportunity to launch an attack."

The city lord rolled his eyes, pretending to be righteous and said awe-inspiringly.

He sneered secretly in his heart, a group of idiots were so determined to stay here and wait to die.

"The city lord is righteous! In this case, we will be disrespectful."

Everyone nodded with admiration on their faces.

The city lord did not hesitate. After arranging everything, he took a dozen of his confidants with him, then found a carriage and escaped through the gap that Da Qin deliberately opened.

However, he did not take the car himself, and even took off all his clothes and pretended to be an ordinary person.

When I escaped the encirclement of the Qin soldiers and was about to leave Kashubi City among the crowd, I let out a long sigh of relief.

however.

The next moment, he was instantly petrified on the spot.

"Lord City Lord, don't leave, wait for us, our brothers are still here!"

What the fuck?

The city lord was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the group of people standing on the city wall, pointing at him. A trace of confusion and deep disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Originally, he wanted this group of people to stay and block the Qin soldiers behind him, thus creating opportunities. However, he never expected that he would become the one attracting firepower.

The eyes of the Qin soldiers who had let him go suddenly turned red. After casting grateful glances at the people on the city wall, they started to kill him like wolves seeing flesh.

"Sabi!"

The city lord stared intently at the roaring soldier on the city wall, greeting his family ten thousand times in his heart, and then turned around and ran away without caring about anything else.

But how could his speed be faster than those Qin soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles? In just half an hour, he was caught up by the Qin soldiers and felled to the ground.

This was because of the large number of people on the road. Many people of the Maurya Dynasty blocked the Qin soldiers for him, otherwise he might not have been able to hold on for even half an hour.

puff!
The sharp sword slashed across the city lord's neck and knocked his head to the ground. A Qin soldier snatched the head away and a hearty laugh came from his mouth.

The other soldiers looked envious. After taking one look, they turned back to the battlefield to chase down the soldiers who had fled.

After living for most of my life, this was the first time I saw an opportunity to gain military merit so easily, so I naturally would not miss it.

This pursuit lasted nearly two hundred miles and lasted for almost two days. After most of the soldiers of the Maurya Dynasty were destroyed, the Qin soldiers reluctantly stopped.

After the farce just now, the war has almost turned one-sided in the direction of Da Qin, leaving only the stubborn soldiers in the city.

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

The siege battle the day before yesterday, coupled with the two days of pursuit, took nearly three days, and many of the Qin soldiers fell down from exhaustion.

There was also a group of manpower left before, so that no one would sneak attack during the break.

The Qin soldiers recovered quickly. Half a day later, they all crawled out of their tents in high spirits, staring at the military achievements on the city wall with burning eyes.

These military achievements can actually speak!
"Haha, do you still want to continue to resist? There are only a few million people in Qin City now. It's better to surrender quickly. Can I spare your life?"

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

"If you, Da Qin, are capable, you can certainly break in. Why continue to waste your time here?"

After several generals looked at each other, determination showed in their eyes.

He secretly thought, even the city lord has sacrificed his life, how can he and others be greedy for life and afraid of death?

Wang Jian gave the order, and the Qin soldiers did not hesitate at all. They shouted one by one, crossed the city wall and charged in.

The city wall had been breached three days ago, and a ball nearly ten meters tall appeared, becoming Da Qin's avenue to the sky, and it entered the city without any pressure.

The people and soldiers in the city who had not yet had time to escape tried their best to resist, but they were no match for 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 ensure that no assassins were left. Then he came outside the city and led Wang Jian into the city.

"ended."

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

I couldn't help but feel a little dazed. I didn't expect victory to come so quickly. From the beginning to the end, this battle only took about half a month, which was faster than an ordinary war.

"General, we have a total of 20 killed and 400 injured. There are 500 million people in Maurya City, and nearly [-] million people have been beheaded. The rest have fled."

After Wang Ping compiled the data, he jogged to Wang Jian's side and whispered.

There was a slight silence when he said this number.

These brothers who died in the battle will be destined to stay here forever.

"Burn the body, keep the ashes, and send the people back to Da Qin. Make sure they return to their roots." Wang Jian patted his shoulder and spoke to comfort him.

In my life as a soldier, I have been fighting for decades, and I have been used to seeing too many separations and separations, so that even now, although I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I won't show it.

"Let's go and see our trophies."

From the outside, except for the low walls of the Maurya Dynasty, everything else looks normal. Only after entering the city will you understand what it means to have golden catkins on the outside but inside.

In such a large city, many places are filled with earthen houses.

The cement and steel buildings in the city do not even reach one-tenth.

Moreover, there are only a dozen or so blast furnaces and blacksmithing stations for ironmaking.

"Could it be that the other party damaged it or took it away? Otherwise, how could it be so little?" Wang Jian looked at the pitiful blacksmith's table in front of him and couldn't help but feel black lines on his forehead.

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 huge city cannot even compare to any county in Da Qin!
"General, the brothers' equipment has been damaged to varying degrees. The enemy's treasury does not even have raw ore. It will probably take a long time to completely repair it." Wang Ping stood beside him with a look of helplessness on his face.

Before the war began, he also prayed that the iron smelting technology of the Mauryan Dynasty would lag behind.

I never thought that I would fall behind to this point.

No, this can no longer be said to be backward, it is not an exaggeration to call it primitive.

"General, let us continue the battle. Although the equipment is damaged, it can still be used. 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 commanded without any doubt.

"Give me the order to set up camp here. At dawn tomorrow, people will go out to look for iron ore. Aren't there tens of thousands of slaves in the city? Let them go mining. They must not go to the battlefield until their equipment is repaired."

It's not that he doesn't understand the importance of military speed. If he continues to go on an expedition at this time, he can definitely deal a fatal blow to the Maurya Dynasty.

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

This will in vain increase casualties.

Although the soldiers were eager to obtain military honors, they could only accept what Wang Jian said.

"General, there is some bad news. Before they died, the people of the Maurya Dynasty destroyed all the food, grass and fresh water in the city and could no longer use it. The food and grass they carried with them was probably enough to last for two months."

Wang Ping acted quickly and quickly counted the available resources.When setting off from Da Qin, the food carried was naturally enough, and there were also millions of logistical troops to supply, but the problem was that the consumption along the way was not small.

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

"Two months is enough. During the period of setting up camp here, send out soldiers to plunder the surrounding villages. Remember to deduct the food from the slaves, so that they can eat for a while longer."

Wang Jian picked up the secret letter and read it for a moment before giving instructions.

The total number of slaves in the city was 30 to [-]. With so many mouths to eat, the losses were naturally high.

As for mining, one day is enough. I don't want to live here for a long time. I just need some raw materials and repair my equipment.

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 Kashubian City, there are two giant cities on the left and right.

They are the cities of Allahaba and Mathura respectively.

The populations in these two cities are smaller than here, with about ten million people each.

After the news of this place spreads, if the two armies are united and those who escaped from Kashubi City are included, it means that the total population will exceed 2000 million.

"This battle went so smoothly. There was almost no decent resistance. Most of the city was composed of militiamen. There were only 50 regular troops. The Mauryan Dynasty claimed to have an army of 500 million. Is this a rumor or is there something else hidden?"

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

Much of the history of the Maurya Dynasty is false, but after this year's development, the Maurya Dynasty cannot stand still.

For example, Da Qin originally only had nearly 200 million soldiers. After the advent of the national war system, the people's physical fitness increased, bringing the total number of soldiers to almost 400 million.

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

"Wang Ping, have you captured any important figures in the Maurya Dynasty, or are there any letters or anything left in the city lord's palace?"

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

As a coach, you must be aware of all details and never miss anything.

Once something goes wrong, the two million Qin soldiers behind him will suffer disaster.

"General, I just wanted to report to you. I just found a secret letter. King Asoka of the Maurya Dynasty transferred a group of elite soldiers, numbering nearly one million, three months ago."

Wang Ping held a letter in his hand and immediately spoke in a low voice.

"Doesn't that mean that this city originally had 150 million troops?" Wang Jian raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

After taking the letter and reading it a few times, I understood it clearly.

"It seems that the Maurya Dynasty is brewing something, a conspiracy that we don't know about."

Wang Jian ordered someone to bring a map of the world and looked back and forth at the border between the Maurya Dynasty and Qin Dynasty.

There were two paths from Da Qin to the Maurya Dynasty.

When they came, they walked through the Himalayas and encountered nothing along the way. This meant that if the Maurya Dynasty wanted to attack Daqin, they would have to take the Khmer route and take a detour.

"It will take at least a year for the Mauryan Dynasty to go around to the Khmer Kingdom and attack the Qin Dynasty. It is absolutely impossible for Ashoka to give such an order." Wang Jian frowned and whispered to himself, shaking his head.

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

If Shopping Cart were to attack Da Qin, it would definitely be like this.

Then there is only one answer. The goal of the Mauryan Dynasty is not Da Qin.

"If Asoka doesn't attack the Qin Dynasty, where else can he attack? Does he want to attack the Parthian Empire?"

Wang Jian frowned, thinking suddenly.

At first, he thought this idea was a bit funny, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really possible.

Ashoka was not a fool. He knew how strong the Qin Dynasty was now. The Maurya Dynasty had devoted all its efforts to the Qin Dynasty, but it was not necessarily the opponent of the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, he did not dare to start a war.

"If this is the case, the other cities will probably be redeployed." 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 informants around to prevent the enemy from trying to kill us. When you go out to look for iron ore rough stones, remember to bring more people with you."

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

Through the secret letters, it can be inferred that many secrets and basic national strength of the Maurya Dynasty will be of great benefit to the subsequent campaign.

……

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

When they first heard the news, many people thought it was a rumor. How could Great Qin attack the Maurya Dynasty? Winter had just ended, so even if Great Qin could fly, it would be impossible for him to fly there.

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

: Damn it, what happened? Great Qin really attacked the Maurya Dynasty.
: It is said that the Qin Dynasty mobilized millions of soldiers this time, all of which were elite soldiers. This was for the sake of the Mauryan Dynasty.

: Now that troops are being sent, there is no reason to scare them. It is most likely a national war. Not to mention that Qin will send out troops in full force, it will not be much different.

: It is said that the city of Kashubhi of the Mauryan Dynasty has been massacred, and nearly 500 million Indians died. I wonder if you are afraid of such a victory.

: The man who led the troops in the Qin Dynasty this time was named Wang Jian. He was one of the two war gods of the Qin Dynasty. This man was a man of great fame. Who could not be afraid of him?
:etc!Doesn't this mean that the Qin soldiers crossed the Himalayas when heavy snow closed the mountains?It's too scary

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

After the shock, there was deep fear.

Da Qin can attack the Maurya Dynasty, which means that it can also attack other forces!
Everyone was afraid that Wang Jian would turn the gun and hit them.

But the most worrying thing is the reward after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Maurya Dynasty. There are nearly 20 billion people in India. Who knows how far the reward will be.

Chamber.

Lao Zuo sat in front of the table, staring at the news on the screen. His pupils shrank slightly. Although his face was calm, there was already a huge wave in his heart.

I was still worried about what to do if the Mauryan Dynasty invaded Da Qin.

He even thought of ways to send a message to Brother Zheng to delay as much time as possible. No matter what, he never expected that before the Maurya Dynasty could take action, the First Emperor would take the lead in sending troops.

Nor did he expect that in just half a month, the Qin Dynasty destroyed a huge city of the Mauryan Dynasty. Such an achievement would definitely be recorded in the history books.

"This ancestor is too strong, a bit ridiculously strong."

Li Meng was operating the computer with both hands, trying to simulate the outcome of this battle, with shock written all over his face.

"It seems that we have worried about His Majesty in vain. With His Majesty at the helm of the Great Qin Dynasty, we will never capsize. It is not us who should be worried, but the Maurya Dynasty. I think Yin Tu is about to cry now." Jin Lao also had shock in his eyes.

With their status, they have seen countless major events in their lives, and they have already developed an immovable character. The problem is that Da Qin's strength is really unexpected.

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

This is nothing short of a miracle!

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

But if you think about it, you must pay a huge price.

"Having said that, it's hard to say how the victory in this battle will be. The Maurya Dynasty has [-] million people, and coupled with the terrifying reproductive ability, the outcome will be [-]-[-] at most." Mr. Wang took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Go down.

I still feel that the First Emperor's move was a bit too hasty.

After the winter is over, the disaster caused by the volcanic ash to the Qin Dynasty will disappear. It will not take long for the country's strength to be restored, and it can attack other small forces around it. There is no need to fight against the Maurya Dynasty at this time.

"What if this ancestor is 100% sure?"

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