Chapter 267 The End of the Mauryan Dynasty
Just when Sari Shuka was laughing wildly, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums in the dust in front of him.
"It seems that the Qin people are not stupid. They know that war elephants are afraid of noise."
"It's a pity that the general has already had people plug the ears of all the war elephants. No matter how loud you are, it's useless!"
Siddhartha grinned.
At this time, a gust of wind blew away most of the dust that covered the sky and the sun.
It also made the smug look on Siddha's face a bit stronger.
In his opinion, even the heavens are helping the war elephant army.
However, the next moment, Siddhartha's pupils suddenly widened dramatically.
I saw that after a lot of dust had faded, countless fire bulls rushed out of the collapsed city wall.
Sharp knives were tied to the horns of these fire bulls, and raging flames were burning on their tails, and they were madly rushing towards the war elephant army.
This scene immediately made many war elephant soldiers panic, and they all controlled the war elephants, trying to avoid these crazy fire bulls.
In the eyes of the people of the Maurya Dynasty, the cow is a symbol of the god, and harming the cow will be punished by heaven.
However, how could such a huge monster like a war elephant be so easy to manipulate.
The war elephant soldiers in the front row not only failed to turn around successfully, but collided with the war elephants behind them.
And this is enough to make the fire bull running at full speed rush to the front.
The tail was lit, and the fire bull was already mad, and the war elephant army was all dressed in red, which stimulated the bull's madness again.
"puff!"
"Moo~!"
Countless fire bulls with red eyes slammed into the chaotic army of war elephants.
Although Siddhartha had reacted quickly, commanding the elephant soldiers to try to sweep away the fire oxen.
But the mad bull didn't care about it at all.
The bloodstains all over the ground not only failed to calm down the cows, but made them go berserk completely.
The fire bull, who was completely insane, rampaged among the war elephant corps.
The sharp knives tied to the horns pierced into the elephant's body one after another.
The pained war elephant also went crazy and threw the elephant soldiers above it away.
With the sound of screams, the elephant soldiers who flew out were trampled into a pulp by countless war elephants and fire bulls.
At the same time, countless crossbow arrows with flames fell on the group of war elephants.
What followed was a jar of kerosene thrown by a simple catapult.
In just a few breaths, the outside of the city of Arakosia turned into a sea of flames.
The flames soaring into the sky, the blood all over the ground, and the wailing of his companions made the war elephant go crazy.
They are no longer under control, running around like headless chickens.
It immediately brought heavy losses to the Maurya cavalry guarding both sides of the war elephant army.
Facing the crazy war elephants and the rampaging fire bulls, the Mauryan cavalry could only wait for death in despair.
Many war elephants turned their hooves directly, and headed towards the stunned Maurya Dynasty behind.
The army rushed over.
Siddhartha, who was thrown away by his own war elephant, just had a flash of panic in his pupils, before he was trampled by countless elephant hooves, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream.
Seeing this scene, King Sari Shuka of the Mauryan Dynasty closed his eyes in despair.
It's all over!
......
Xianyang City, Kylin Hall.
The atmosphere of the meeting is still full of gunpowder.
"Your Majesty, the battle of the Maurya Dynasty is urgent!
According to the information sent back from the front line, the ruler of the Da Yue Clan led his troops to attack the vanguard camp of the Maurya Dynasty at night, and was caught in the enemy's fire attack, and is now seriously injured and dying.
As the commander in chief, Han Xin should be responsible for this defeat.
The minister suggested that Han Xin should be removed from the position of captain, so as to reassure the rest of the dependent countries. "
After Zhao Tuo chattered a lot, some officials immediately echoed:
"Your Majesty, Han Xin is still too young to be the commander-in-chief of the army. I suggest that another veteran general be sent to the Maurya Dynasty to preside over the overall situation!"
"Yes, didn't yesterday's battle report say that Han Xin led the army to retreat dozens of miles? Maybe it will retreat hundreds of miles tomorrow!"
"Han Xin is just a child with a yellow mouth, how can he know how to be a general?"
"Now the Maurya Dynasty is resisting with all the soldiers of the whole country. Not to mention that there are [-] war elephants alone. I am afraid that the land I laid down before the Great Qin Dynasty will be spit back now."
"This... this is a loss of power and humiliation to the country!"
A group of honorable officials spoke accusations one after another, and Ying Zheng's face became darker and darker.
Ying Yu sneered.
This group of people kept saying that the battle situation was urgent and they needed a seasoned general. In fact, they wanted Zhao Tuo to replace Han Xin.
I want to use this to suppress my reputation.
Now in the whole of Daqin, no one knows that Han Xin was single-handedly pulled up by Ying Yu.
If something happened to Han Xin, Ying Yu would naturally be affected as well.
And regarding the wealth of the Peacock Dynasty, this group of nobles has long been drooling.
However, this Zhao Tuo is really not simple. Not long after he came back from Nanhai County, he was able to win over a group of nobles for his use.
No wonder in the history of later generations, after Ren Xiao, the governor of Nanhai County, died of illness, Zhao Tuo was able to control the army of Nanhai County, killed the officials who were placed in Nanhai County by the Qin Dynasty and replaced them with cronies, and took advantage of the situation to seize Guilin and Xiang. of South Vietnam.
It's a pity that the current Daqin has already deviated from history.
"I don't know His Royal Highness, what do you think of the war in the Maurya Dynasty?"
Seeing Ying Yu looking at him, Zhao Tuo's heart shuddered, and he quickly changed the topic and asked.
"It's very simple, just wait for the good news."
Ying Yu said calmly.
"Good news? It's come to this point now, is it possible that His Royal Highness still mistrusts Han Xin and delay my battle?"
Zhao Tuo's confidant, Tong Quan questioned him aloud.
Ying Yu glanced at Tong Quan indifferently, and the latter was startled and took several steps back.
"His Royal Highness, my Daqin Chaotang has always advocated being outspoken. Tong Quan's words are correct, right?"
"I think it's better to transfer Han Xin back temporarily, otherwise, once the Maurya Dynasty's front line is defeated, I'm afraid Persian County will also change."
"Whether it is the land of the Maurya Dynasty or Persian County, the soldiers paid for it with their lives. His Royal Highness insists on using Han Xin. Isn't it afraid that the hearts of the soldiers will be chilled?"
Zhao Tuo said it harshly.
But when he met Ying Yu's gaze, his heart pounded.
Although he was afraid in his heart, the current situation was already an arrow from the string, and there was no turning back.
From the moment Zhao Tuo took the initiative to jump out, he could only go to the dark one way.
"By the soldiers you are talking about, do you mean the Da Yue Clan or the allied forces of the Western Regions?"
Ying Yu cast a disdainful glance at Zhao Tuo, and said coldly:
"Don't you know that Da Yue Clan should have disappeared long ago?
The reason why they are able to survive till now is just that the crown prince gave them a chance to redeem their sins. "
"What's more, although Bocai lost thousands of people in this night attack, the Maurya Vanguard lost ten times more?
Injuring tens of thousands of enemies at the cost of thousands of people, how can it be a defeat in your mouth? "
"And you, Zhao Tuo, open your mouth and shut your mouth to complain about the injustice of the Dayue Clan. Why do you, Zhao Tuo, regard yourself as a grassland barbarian?"
