Chapter 536 Frog at the Bottom of the Well
"General, these so-called soldiers of the Seleu Dynasty as the Emperor of Great Qin are really good at fighting. If they encounter the coalition forces of our Huns and Great Qin on the plains, the outcome will be unpredictable!"
When the rising sun rose, the dragon with blood on his face was already covered in blood and said to Peng Yue, who was also like a bloody man beside him.
Indeed, the difficulty of this battle was much beyond their imagination. I thought it would be a sneak attack as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, but it ended up suffering almost the most tenacious resistance from beginning to end.
The price paid by the two coalition forces in this battle was still very painful. More than 5,000 people lost their lives in this battle. However, under the leadership of the two of them, the general who wanted to make a brilliant contribution was personally killed by Long Qi. After the general was killed, and after more than two hours of marching, they were not as physically as those under Peng Yue and Long Qi's army, they were defeated.
In the end, the two killed the enemy's chief general, wiped out more than 10,000 enemy troops, and seized a lot of war horses, which ended the battle.
Peng Yue's face did not have the expression he should have when he lost so much. The enemy's strength exceeded their expectations, and it brought more than the result of this battle. If a protracted war might occur in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty in the future, no matter whether the Qin Dynasty wins in the end, if it wants to chew such a hard bone, certain damage will definitely not be able to escape.
"The victory and defeat are unpredictable, but compared to the caution of my Great Qin and the Huns, they must have underestimated me. If we use the words of the emperor, these people are frogs in the well. We will naturally let them see in the future battles that there is a heaven beyond heaven!"
Peng Yue's words made Long Qi very useful. Although he had never heard of many of the words he said, he still understood the meaning expressed in it very well. That is, the shock they caused to the enemy this time must be even greater than the shock caused to them by the enemy. In fact, these words were learned by Peng Yue when he heard Ying Gao's words. Long Qi didn't know what happened, so it was understandable.
The two of them knew that some fleeing enemy troops would definitely inform the other teams of this news as soon as possible. Such an attack was enough to slow down their pace of attacking the city and give the Qin and the Huns more time.
Originally, the two of them thought that if the enemy really did nothing, they could get some more troops and do it all the way. But now it is obviously not the same situation. It has been so difficult to do it all the way. After taking it down, the other generals became alert. They had no advantage in military strength, so they could only return to the city of Hua, which has a very complete guards, to make a long-term plan.
After a little discussion, the two buried the bodies of their dead soldiers, and brought the seized war horses back to Fahrenheit City.
Although the loss was a little bigger, the battle between the two was still of great significance. As soon as they returned to Fahrenheit City, Peng Yue hurriedly wrote a letter and informed Ying Gao of all the enemy's situation.
Although the troops sent this time were not assigned by Ying Gao, Peng Yue was still very clear about the matter. He felt that if the enemy had this combat quality, they should increase their troops to the Mauryan Dynasty sooner. Otherwise, once some cities with larger scale and good foundation fell into the hands of the enemy, and if they were given time to set up defenses in those cities, it would be very difficult for the Qin Dynasty to get these cities back in the future.
Peng Yue and Long Qi were quite prepared here, but when the people from the Seleu Dynasty fled back and told the person in charge of the army that was in charge, the guy's face suddenly turned into a pig's liver.
"You are sure that the enemy you encountered was not the defenders of the Mauryan Dynasty, but the aliens who occupied the Mauryan Dynasty?"
Hearing that his entire army was killed by others, he was almost wiped out by the army, and even the commanding generals were killed by others. The commanders of these army were so angry that they were very angry. But until this time, he still didn't believe that this was done by the aliens who occupied the Fahrenheit City. He even wanted to believe that this was done by some remaining generals in the Mauryan Dynasty.
"It is indeed not the people of the Mauryan Dynasty. Although they were attacked late at night, these people were wearing costumes of the Mauryan Dynasty to cover up their eyes and ears. However, the weapons used by these people and the language they spoke in exchanges were really foreign races that they had never seen before. Although their faces did not look very realistically, they were quite different from those of the Mauryan Dynasty. They were those of the alien races!"
After hearing such exact words, the general was silent. He knew that what he didn't want to see might have happened. Although he tried his best to tell Antioch III that many advantages of capturing the Mauryan Dynasty, it was indeed his true thoughts, not that he had any other purpose. Moreover, the previous series of situations have also confirmed that the current Mauryan Dynasty is indeed a place where three things are ignored.
But now, things are obviously not as simple as they thought before. Just looking at this clean and neat sneak attack, the actions of their five armies must have been completely controlled by others, and they were not afraid of their Seleu Dynasty, but they just thought there was no good opportunity.
"How many troops did the opponent dispatch in this battle? Is there any loss?"
"The opponent's troops are not as good as our army, at most ten thousand, and our army should have caused thousands of losses to it..."
After hearing this description, the general's brows became even tighter. This was obviously not something worth praising. It only means that the person who used only half of yours would almost wipe out all your troops. Their strength was definitely not inferior to you.
In the history of the war of the Seleucid Dynasty, such a frustrating defeat was rare. After thinking about it, the general hurriedly passed the news to the generals of several other armies, and no longer continued to attack, but temporarily defended his city to prevent being attacked by the enemy.
At the same time, he also believed that it was still very necessary to report the matter to Antioch III under such circumstances.
When Antioch III received the letter from his general, he was a little regretful about sending 100,000 cavalry to attack the Mauryan Dynasty. He did not expect that the alien races of the Mauryan Dynasty were not afraid of him at all, nor did he expect that the other party's warriors might be even more powerful than the warriors in his dynasty that had been through the battlefield.
There are two ways in front of him now. One is to stop when he is ready, and withdraw the things seized from the cities of the Mauryan Dynasty, and protect his territory well. The other is to occupy the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty that had been captured, because it was not taken down by the Great Qin and the Huns after all, it was he who worked hard to defeat the people of the Mauryan Dynasty. Logically speaking, there was no need to surrender to the Great Qin and the Huns, not to mention that he did not understand what kind of dynasty it was.
Antioch III claimed to be the Great Emperor. He was a very strong guy in the history of the Seleu Dynasty. He had never done much in surrender. After experiencing a struggle in his head, he made a secret decision that I would not attack anymore, but now I have taken down the place. Sorry, you must not go back. If you can negotiate with the aliens who occupied Fahrenheit then, you will sign a peace agreement like the previous one with the Mauryan Dynasty.
Antioch III believed that if he did this, he had shown a lot of sincerity. After all, it was very reasonable to do this. If you don’t come to occupy it, wouldn’t you allow me to occupy it?
However, Antioch III obviously did not understand how big the Qin Dynasty was, nor did he understand Ying Gao's personality. He even did not know about Meng Tian's personality, who was rushing to the Mauryan Dynasty, and he could not think of it.
When Peng Yue's letter was delivered to the Western Regions, Meng Tian had already arrived at the same place with Fusu, and was reminiscing about the old days in the city that Fusu was just about to be built near the closing gate.
Although Meng Tian was very anxious about going to the Mauryan Dynasty, there was one thing that the 100,000 troops he led had passed a series of urgent marches in the Western Regions, and it needed some rest to get here. After all, he didn't know what the war between the Mauryan Dynasty was like. If the enemy of the Fahrenheit City had attacked the city gate one by one, it was very possible.
In addition, Meng Tian has always been a hard-core supporter of Fusu before. Before Ying Gao was born, Meng Tian always hoped that Fusu could become the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, when the initial emperor sent Fusu to Shangjun, Fusu's mentality almost collapsed. In this process, Meng Tian has been acting as Fusu's mentor. Although he had not met for several years after Fusu arrived in Nanhai County, the relationship between the two was definitely not something that ordinary people could shake.
When he learned that Ying Gao had taken the initiative to send Meng Tian over for the sake of the war in the Mauryan Dynasty, Fusu knew that Meng Tian would be stationed in the Mauryan Dynasty for a long time this time. He informed Meng Tian about Ying Gao's all about how the Western Regions wanted to develop. Obviously, this was of great help to Meng Tian's war in the Mauryan Dynasty.
That night, Meng Tian and Fusu were drinking a cup together. After three rounds of wine, suddenly the guards outside the door came to report, saying that the urgent military information of the Mauryan Dynasty was coming and needed to inform Ying Gao.
According to Ying Gao's request, all the urgent matters were sent to the Western Regions by the Mauryan Generals. After arriving in the Western Regions, Fusu was responsible. Moreover, Fusu had the power to check some letters, which was enough to show Ying Gao's trust in his brother.
This time, it sounded urgent military information, and Meng Tian was sitting opposite him, Fusu did not hesitate to open the letter in front of Meng Tian and read it word by word.
After reading it, Fusu did not immediately inform Meng Tian, but resealed the letter and found a confidant of his own and asked him to send the letter to Xianyang City as quickly as possible. Then he looked at Meng Tian again.
"Is it possible that something big happened in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty?" Meng Tian saw Fusu's enthusiasm that he didn't dare to delay at all. At that time, he felt that this was not a small matter. His already a little dizzy head suddenly became much clearer.
"Peng Yue and the Xiongnu general Long Qi sneaked into the enemy army in the Mauryan Dynasty with a small number of cavalry. Now they have already understood the enemy's combat effectiveness, so they informed the Lord of the First Time. If it was different from what the Lord of the previous thought, the Lord of the Lord would naturally change his previous plan."
"How powerful are those enemy troops?" This question is what Meng Tian wants to know almost the most. Although he also knew that if the opponent had nothing, it would be very beneficial to Daqin, he still hoped that his opponent would not be too bad, otherwise wouldn't it be useless to dispatch him to the Peacock Dynasty? Peng Yue and Long Qi could do something well, so why should they join in the fun? After all, if those people were of age and seniority, they would be their juniors.
"According to Peng Yue's statement, if the king cannot send some reinforcements this time, although they will have the ability to defend the city of Hua Shi, they may not be able to retake those cities occupied by the enemy in the west. Long Qi and Peng Yue used 10,000 troops to launch a sneak attack at night. The sneak attack was very successful. It did almost wipe out an enemy army of about 20,000 people, but he also paid half of the losses. Under such losses, they will no longer send troops rashly. The opponent's cavalry are all people who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Once they fight, there will inevitably be damage."
These are the original words of Peng Yue in that letter. Fusu recounted it with his own knowledge and strong memory. After hearing this, Meng Tian frowned deeply. He didn't understand Peng Yue's ability, but he had known Long Qi's bravery. In addition, Peng Yue could only be stronger, but a successful sneak attack still paid so much price, which only shows that the enemy they faced was really a little tricky.
"It seems that I will set out for the Mauryan Dynasty earlier. What they lack now is a team of people like the ones I led. I belong to Daqin. If I eat them, I will let them spit it out!"
