Chapter 266 Decisive Battle, Arakosia City
"My lord, something is wrong!"
"According to the expected situation in advance, the Daqin cavalry will definitely attack when our army is building a bridge or crossing a river, but this time they did nothing. This is not in line with common sense!"
Military Minister Siddhartha frowned.
"What's so strange about this? The last time the Daqin cavalry tried to continue to raid our vanguard camp, tens of thousands of cavalry were burned by this king, and the loss was extremely heavy."
"It is said that Bo Cai, the leader of the Da Yue Clan, was almost burned to death. Now that the prince is here, and there is a war elephant army, where do they have the courage to fight our army?"
The peacock king Sari Shuka waved his hand indifferently, with an arrogant look on his face.
A strange look flashed across Siddharu's face, he hesitated for a long time, but still did not speak.
In the past few days, several unlucky people have been beheaded by Sari Shuka to sacrifice the flag, and he doesn't want to be the next one.
And in his view, no matter what kind of tactics Daqin uses, he can't resist the charge of the Zhanxiang Legion.
As the commander of the War Elephant Legion, Siddhartha has absolute confidence in his subordinates.
As for the monarchs of small countries who have been separated from Germany, Siddhartha doesn't care.
Anyway, the Maurya Dynasty has long been useless, and it is normal for government orders not to leave Fahrenheit City (the capital of the Maurya Dynasty).
This time, it was only because of too much pressure from Daqin that they reluctantly gathered together again.
As long as Daqin is defeated and the foreign enemies are dealt with, the split should still be split.
It would be best for any fool to kill Sari Shuka directly.
At that time, Siddhartha, who has the strongest combat power of the Maurya Dynasty, the War Elephant Legion, will be able to establish himself as a king and become the supreme ruler of a country.
Only fools are willing to continue to follow a tyrant like Sarishuka.
Maybe one day, like the previous vanguard army, they did not die under the enemy's horseshoes, but died under the knife stabbed in the back by Sari Shuka.
"Your Majesty, report from the front. The Qin army has retreated ninety miles, and they have all retreated to the city of Alagasia!"
Just when Sari Shuka and Siddharu were pregnant with ghosts, the words of the intelligence officer brought them back again.
"Haha, the people of Qin were indeed as expected by this king, they were scared away by this king's heavenly coercion!"
"But they still think it's too simple!"
"A mere city of Arakosia also wants to block the charge of the king's war elephant army?"
"Send the order, the whole army presses down, and before sunset tomorrow, I want to see the head of that Han Xin!"
Sari Shuka laughed wildly excitedly.
A gleam of joy flashed across Siddhartha's face.
The meritorious deeds of destroying the invading Qin army will definitely make him and the Zhan Xiang Legion the most influential and admired heroes in the entire Maurya Dynasty.
At this time, Siddhar was thinking about whether to create an accident at the military parade after destroying the Daqin army, and let the war elephant kill Sari Shuka directly, so that he could take advantage of the situation and become king.
Following the order of Sari Shuka, the 20 troops of the Mauryan Dynasty came to the city of Arakosia.
And the most attractive thing is the army of war elephants lined up three miles from the main city gate.
These war elephants all came from the Magadha area in the northeast of the Mauryan Dynasty.
At most, there were more than 9000 heads. The founder of the Maurya Dynasty, Qidara Gupta, relied on a huge army of war elephants to block Alexander's army and establish the Maurya Dynasty.
The reason why Sari Shuka was brutal and bloodthirsty, but still able to make many small countries under his control, in addition to the huge pressure from the Great Qin, these five thousand war elephants were also the key.
Now, in order to defeat Han Xin, Sari Shuka directly took out all his hole cards.
In this battle, he vowed to expel the Qin people from the province of Arakosia and restore the royal family's reputation!
"Your Majesty, the people of Qin have already moved all our peacock people to other areas. Now there are only Qin Dynasty troops in this city, and spies cannot enter, and they don't know the news from the city."
The intelligence officer said solemnly.
"People from Qin, they just want to use those tricks again!"
"However, in the face of my brave and invincible war elephant army, all schemes and tricks are impossible to realize."
"Siddhartha, you lead the war elephant army, bring a batch of siege hammers, and prepare to break the city!"
"The cavalry follow the two wings of the Zhan Xiang Legion to prevent the Qin people from ambush!
Today, we must let the people of Qin know that even if it is a city wall, my king's war elephant army is invincible. ! "
Sari Shuka laughed wildly.
The war elephant army has always been in the direction of the plains charge, so when the opponent encounters the war elephant, they will often stay behind closed doors.
For this reason, the Maurya Dynasty specially developed a set of tactics.
That is to prepare a batch of siege hammers weighing a thousand catties. When approaching the city gate, use the trunk of the war elephant to roll up the siege hammer directly, and it only takes a few strokes to smash through the city gate.
And the city of Arakosia in front of him is just the most ordinary city, the height of the city wall is less than three feet, the thickness of the city wall is only a few feet, and the most common earth and stone are used.
The War Elephant Legion can use a battering ram to smash through the city wall!
Seeing the majestic momentum brought by the charge of the war elephant army, the faces of many monarchs of the small countries affiliated to the Maurya Dynasty couldn't help but turn ugly.
Judging from the current situation, the Daqin army must be completely wiped out in the city of Arakosia.
Once the Great Qin army is destroyed and there are no foreign enemies, with the character of Sarishuka, I am afraid that they will attack these subordinate countries immediately.
And their army was arranged by Sari Shuka in the vanguard army before, and suffered a lot of losses.
Even if there is no loss, there is no ability to resist in front of this terrifying five thousand war elephants.
However, just when the War Elephant Legion was less than two miles away from the city wall, more than half of the city wall of Arakosia suddenly collapsed, and the dust covering the sky obscured everyone's sight.
"What's the situation?"
Siddhartha, who led the war elephant army, was stunned.
"It should be that the movement of the War Elephant Legion's charge was too loud, which caused an earthquake. The city wall of Arakosia has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is possible that it was directly collapsed by the earthquake."
A general spoke excitedly.
"It is estimated that this is the case!"
"It doesn't matter, just go straight up, the city wall is down, we can save a little trouble, just go straight in""
"All armies, be careful not to step on the trap, charge!"
After thinking for a while, Siddhartha gave the order to charge.
In his opinion, now that the walls of Arakosia have collapsed, the only thing that can pose a threat to the War Elephant Legion is a trap.
But war elephants are gigantic, even if the people of Qin could dig a ten-foot-deep trap, at most one or two war elephants would fall into it, and they might not necessarily fall to their deaths.
This loss was completely within Siddhartha's tolerance.
The Maurya War Elephant Legion accelerated their charge.
Two miles!
A mile!
Both Siddhartha and Sari Shuka had a look of complacency on their faces.
"The God of Victory is favored, the situation is clear, and the enemy will be wiped out immediately."
