"Your Majesty... ah no! Your Majesty! I, Wei Bao, am willing to live or die with the city and protect your Majesty's glory forever!!!"

Ashoka was stunned and looked at Wei Bao blankly, his eyes even a little red.

Over the past few days, he had heard too much bad news, and every piece of it seemed like a heavy hammer, crushing his spirit completely.

No one, not even one, said a word of encouragement to him during this period.

And now, Wei Bao not only said it, but also said that he would fight and die for his own glory and for the Maurya Dynasty!

At this moment, the long-standing pressure seemed to be released instantly. Even though he had a vague feeling in his heart that this release was illusory, he couldn't help but feel relaxed.

In the final analysis, he is just a human being. As long as he is a human being, he can't help but look for psychological comfort when he encounters danger.

As luck would have it, Wei Bao is a person who is very good at psychological comfort.

Call ~

Ashoka stood up. Although he still frowned, he did not continue to talk about surrender.

Instead, they continued to distribute orders, arrange defenses, and prepare for the final decisive battle with Da Qin.

The Kshatriyas and Brahmins below were silent and listened to the order. On the surface, they all followed Ashoka's arrangements, but in fact no one knew what they were thinking.

……

Autumn and winter come together, and the cold wind blows.

Fahrenheit has stood as the capital of the Mauryan dynasty for decades.

For decades, this place has been the core of the Mauryan Dynasty, the commercial, military and political center of the Mauryan Dynasty.

The nobles here are in a state of intoxication, and the slaves enjoy oppressing slaves in other places. They have no sense of crisis at all, and they never thought that Huashi City would be invaded by other countries.

Since the founding of the Mauryan Dynasty, it has always been our own part to invade other countries. When did it become other countries' turn to invade us? It's even more difficult to say that they have reached the capital.

Therefore, for everyone living in Fahrenheit City, the so-called death and enemies are very far away from them.

However, today, the entire Fahrenheit City is in panic!

Because people actually discovered that there were wandering cavalry around Fahrenheit City!

They are often light riders, wearing only leather armor and carrying long knives in their hands. And thanks to the superb forging technology of Da Qin, these knives are also extremely light.

These people often travel in small groups, wandering around Fahrenheit City, surveying the terrain, inspecting water sources, and drawing maps.

Some of the brave ones even came within the crossbow shooting range of Fahrenheit City, checked the garrison deployment on the city wall, and brandished their swords from time to time.

Once they find an enemy approaching, they will immediately flee, never giving the Maurya any chance, and trying their best to avoid fighting with them.

Seeing this situation, many nobles in Huashi City were trembling with fear. In the past, they had only heard the battle reports. Although they were panicked, they still maintained their dignity, thinking that these Qin people would definitely be blocked from Nalanda.

But when they saw Da Qin's fully armed scout troops, they realized that the war was already so close to them!

The long knife in the scout's hand could cut their necks or even their hearts at any time!

And now that the scouts have appeared, can Da Qin's main force be far behind?

As if to confirm their suspicions, just three days after the scout troops appeared, a Great Qin troop arrived on the outskirts of Huashi City.

There were not many of them, only four to five thousand, but they escorted hundreds of prison cars, all of which were bloody and dying Mauryan nobles.

Moreover, these prison cars were deliberately pushed to the front of the camp, less than a hundred feet away from the wall of Fahrenheit City, and could be seen with the naked eye.

"It's General Atuman!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? General Atuman is guarding Nalanda, how could he be in... Oh my god! It's really him!"

"No way! He was actually captured!"

One of the soldiers guarding the city recognized one of them, which immediately caused an uproar around him. Everyone's eyes showed disbelief.

Attuman was King Asoka's most capable general, a noble Kshatriya who guarded Nalanda, but now he became a prisoner of the Qin army?

Regarding the news that Na Tuo might be broken, Asho King, in order to maintain his military heart, he chose to block, otherwise it would be passed on.

However, it was obvious that Xiang Yu had guessed this, so he deliberately took all the prisoners in Nalanda with him and placed them in front of the wall of Huashi City so that all the defenders could see clearly.

The effect of this move was indeed very good, almost sending the entire Fahrenheit City into panic! Even despair!

The soldiers guarding the city quickly sent the news to the imperial palace, but the palace seemed to have turned into a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.

Together with the soldier who sent the message, they all disappeared one after another.

One day, two days, three days... a month later.

Bang bang bang!

Another larger and more mighty Qin Army arrived in Hua's city.

Different from the previous four or five thousand people, this army has hundreds of thousands.

They built barracks directly around Hua Clan, completely surrounding the entire Hua City.

In addition, a series of high platforms were built to erect strange metal objects. They shone with a different kind of light under the sunlight.

lThe two Qin armies met and completely completed the final siege of Huashi City.

The soldiers on the walls of Fahrenheit City were silently expecting in their hearts. They all involuntarily clenched the weapons in their hands, preparing to fight a mighty defensive battle according to the instructions in the training.

Finally, a few days later, on a morning with clear skies, the Qin army began the final siege.

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom! !

Boom boom boom! ! !

Contrary to what the defenders of Suohua City thought, the Great Qin army did not charge or launch a sling attack, but directly fired cannons!

Countless artillery fire shot out from the high platform and from the barrel of the strange metal creation, like a swarm of world-destroying meteors, and like a destructive rocket, instantly turning the entire Fahrenheit City into a sea of ​​fire!

Countless screams, calls for help and curses were mixed together and inseparable.

Fahrenheit City is proud of its tall city wall, which is known as an indestructible super fortress. In the face of these super firearms that transcend the times, it has almost no ability to fight back. Instead, it becomes an obstacle to prevent everyone from escaping!

Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!

The city walls are collapsing, artillery fire is roaring, and lives are disappearing!

The Mauryan Dynasty is shaking, Fahrenheit City is shaking, and the Imperial Palace is shaking. This is the sound of the old man who is afraid of crying when he reaches the end of his life!

In the trembling imperial palace, King Ashoka was wearing a dragon robe and sitting alone on the dragon chair.

He looked at the crumbling palace, his expression no longer despairing, only a deep sense of astonishment.

At this moment, he finally understood completely!

"I see, so what's going on? With this kind of weapon, no wonder these Qin people can push them all the way."

"No wonder no one can resist it. This is simply not a power that people can possess!"

This was a question that had always existed in his mind, and now it was finally answered.

Unfortunately, this answer is not what he wants.

But it doesn't matter anymore, because what he thinks doesn't matter anymore.

"Kings!"

"The South City Gate, the East City Gate, the Northwest Gate, the North Gate and so on all opened their doors and surrendered. Those Brahmin nobles and Wei Bao's lackeys... they... they all surrendered!"

"Let's escape! Escape from the east gate, there are all people in the king!"

"As long as we go there, they will be able to protect you and escape from the city!"

A Kshatriya who was loyal to Ashoka staggered in and passed through the heavy fire, trying to persuade Ashoka to leave.

But Ashoka seemed not to hear anything and was still talking to himself that he finally understood.

"Your Majesty!!!"

"Run away!"

The Kshatriya shouted so hoarse that his throat was almost torn!

King Ayu finally looked at it and said indifferently: "You shouted the wrong name, the emperor now, is not king!"

"You have to call me - Your Majesty!" "And the emperor will not run away."

"???"

The Kshatriya was stunned and didn't understand why Asoka suddenly mentioned this. Is this the time to care about this?

He wanted to say something else, but Ashoka gave him no chance to speak.

Ayaka stood up, lowered his head, looked at the emperor's robe on his body affectionate and obsessed, and looked at the lifelike five -claw gold dragon.

This imperial robe was reproduced by him based on Wei Bao's description.

It uses the finest fabrics and tailors from the Mauryan Dynasty, and is inlaid with many precious gems, making every moment priceless.

He didn't know what the First Emperor's imperial robe was like, but he thought it was probably not as good as his own.

It must be so.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"At least I... am the emperor now!"

Ashoka overturned the candle in front of him and allowed it to ignite his desk, pillars and palace amid the roaring fire.

However, he pulled out his long sword and gently stroked it towards his neck.

At this moment, many images appeared in his eyes, but in the end he still focused on his imperial robe.

thump!

"Kings!"

The Emperor was exhausted, but everything was useless.

The raging fire rose and completely submerged Ashoka and the entire palace.

The peacock dynasty ended completely.

……

"He is still a hero, but he actually chose to set himself on fire."

One day later, Xiang Yu took off his helmet and at least led the army to the ruins of the Emperor Palace.

In front of him was a corpse that was so charred that his original appearance was unrecognizable, but looking at the remaining items on his body, it can be inferred that his identity is King Asoka.

This former king chose to end his life in the most tragic way.

Xiang Yu had a complicated expression. He admired this kind of hero who dared to commit suicide and die for his country before danger.

"Hero? I think he is just a bear."

Another man came over with his army, it was Zhang Liang.

The moment the two looked at each other, the smell of fire smoke started almost instantly.

Although it has been a long time, the two still dislike each other because of their previous conflicts.

"Why do you say that?" Xiang Yu frowned, feeling that Zhang Liang was deliberately looking for trouble.

"Because he never admitted defeat from beginning to end!"

Zhang Liang sneered and kicked the corpse: "He is obviously a cruel and cruel man who kills innocent people indiscriminately and likes to daydream all day long."

"Now is it called a hero because of daring to commit suicide. What kind of absurd this is this?"

"Even when he died in the end, he had no intention of waking up from his daydream."

"Why can his death be so powerful, but the people he killed must die inexplicably?"

Xiang Yu was silent and had no intention of refuting.

Zhang Liang took advantage of the victory and continued: "It's your own business to admit that he is a hero, but please don't regard your own thoughts as those of all of us!"

"In my opinion, this Ashoka is trash!"

"If he is really a hero, what he should do now is to survive, then accept the trial of our Great Qin, and bear all responsibilities!"

Xiang Yu did not refute at all, but quietly dismounted, making amends for Zhang Liang.

"Brother Zhang, I'm sorry. I was the one who said such arrogant words just now."

"I hope you can forgive me."

Xiang Yu rarely admits mistakes, but that doesn't mean he won't, but because most of the time he believes he is absolutely right.

But this time, he was convinced that he was wrong.

Zhang Liang is indeed right!

Although the death of Asoka was tragic, but he couldn't cover up the fact that he was a slag!

He couldn't hide the brutality of so many people he killed!

Zhang Liang's cold expression softened slightly.

Xiang Yu asked: "Brother Zhang, what are your plans for the future?"

"Maybe he will go to Qin to become the prime minister."

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has invited me many times before, and so has His Majesty. However, I have always felt that I have no merit and it will be difficult to convince the public."

"This time, leading the army to defeat the Maurya Dynasty will give me meritorious service."

Zhang Liang didn't want to take the subject. It was too slow to rise like that.

"Brother Zhang has ambition!"

Xiang Yu is very envious. He actually wants to follow Cui Yuan, but unfortunately he has the Xiang family behind him.

Moreover, he is currently the champion of the Qin Dynasty. Unlike Zhang Liang, who does not hold any position, he is the Chehou of the Qin Dynasty. If he joins Cui Yuan, it will easily cause turmoil in the government and the opposition.

The two briefly communicated again, and finally looked at Ashoka's body and thought about how to deal with it.

Finally, they decided to dig a grave in the same place and leave him there.

A generation of kings has come to an end like this.

"We should go back."

"Ok!"

Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu looked at each other, then turned and left silently.

Behind them, the cold wind drifted, but no one felt cold because it not only blew away the diffuse smoke, but also blew away the decay of the land.

Wang Ben, Ye Teng and Wang Li also came one after another to watch Ashoka being buried.

Everything returns to dust and dust to dust!

This battle is completely over. (End of chapter)
