"boom……"

Outside Nalanda City, the sound of artillery fire continued.

Several veterans guarding the city couldn't help but be shocked and looked at each other.

"Did you hear that?"

The veteran pointed dully outside the city.

"This...? Qin Jun can't really control explosive weapons, right?"

This voice was very familiar to them.

It was after such a loud noise that the Qin army attacked the city of Bodhgaya.

If they had run any slower, they would have been blocked in Bodhgaya City!

Therefore, after hearing this voice, their originally dark faces instantly turned a lot whiter.

"Come here! Come on... Go and find out what's going on outside the city right now?"

The old ministers secretly thought something was wrong and quickly sent people to investigate on the city wall.

After a while, the soldier turned back in panic, "Oh no! The elephant army... the elephant army... was...!"

The soldier was breathing heavily because he was running too fast.

"What's wrong with Xiangjun? You should tell me quickly!"

He paused at the most critical moment, which made the veterans anxious!

The Elephant Army is their last hope. If something happens to the Elephant Army, there will be no chance of winning this battle!

"The Elephant Army... The Elephant Army was blown to pieces by the Qin Army's mysterious weapon and was completely defeated. Those who survived began to run around and trampled many soldiers to death!"

The soldier took a deep breath and reported truthfully what he saw on the city wall.

"What?"

Several veterans' expressions froze and they took a few steps back.

"Sir, do you want to open the city gate and let the army enter the city?"

asked the soldier who reported the news.

"I didn't expect that even the elephant army couldn't stop the Qin army!"

However, the old ministers looked ashen and ignored him at all.

So, he asked again.

This time, the veterans glanced at him but did not speak.

Next, a few old guys made eye contact and told the soldiers, "Quick... find something to hold the city gate up for me!"

"Hold...hold up?"

The soldier asked suspiciously, as if he didn't hear clearly.

"That's right, quickly order people to find heavy objects and hold the city gate firmly!"

The veterans issued orders eagerly.

"But...but the army is still outside!"

"We can't control that much anymore. The elephant army was beaten like this not long after they left the city. Do you think that half a million troops can still stay? Hurry up and block the city gate and run for your life!"

After saying that, the few old guys didn't even bother to pack up their things and quickly ran out towards the back door.

"boom……"

There was another loud noise, and the sound got closer and closer. Only then did the soldier react and immediately called to other soldiers.

"Quick...quickly block the city gate and don't let anyone in!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing the response, the soldiers who gave the order followed a few old guys and quietly ran out of the back door.

Last time, the veterans returned to Huashi City after leaving.

But this time, they had no intention of returning to Fahrenheit City, but fled towards the north!

Most of the Maurya Dynasty's troops have been lost, and it is obvious that they cannot be saved.

As the general of Da Qin said, from now on, wherever the sun shines, it will be Da Qin!

"Da da da……"

After a fierce artillery attack, the 10,000-head elephant army had been dispersed.

The next thing to deal with is the half-million-strong army hiding behind the Elephant Army!

Wang Li led Maxim's vanguard troops and fired at them.

Han Xin led the soldiers to follow closely and clean up the remaining troops!

Seeing that the situation was not good, More stopped advancing long ago and quietly retreated.

Just those few young generals, eager to make meritorious deeds, have been following the Xiang Army!

Now he has probably been trampled to pieces by the panicked elephant!

"Open the door! Open the city gate quickly!"

After the Qin army began its formal attack, batches of soldiers fell. Moore immediately turned his horse and ran towards the city, shouting as he ran.

However, he shouted for a long time, but there was no response from the city gate.

Thinking that the war was too loud and covering up his shouts, he took off his armor and waved it towards the city wall, hoping to attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the city wall!

However, after shaking for a long time, his hands were sore, and the city gate was still closed firmly, with no intention of opening it!

"Da da da……"

Maxim's voice kept ringing, like a reminder, harvesting the lives of the Maurya army.

Some of the soldiers were trampled to death by the scurrying elephants, and some were so panicked that they didn't know whether to move forward or retreat, and just stood there waiting for Maxim's bullets!

The other part who reacted quickly either fled in all directions or wanted to turn back and enter the city.

But no matter which one, you can't do it!

The Qin army had long been prepared to attack in an encircling manner. How could they be allowed to escape easily?

Those who wanted to return to the city to escape were blocked outside the city just like Moore.

Even if everyone goes down and knocks on the door, it will be of no avail!

The huge and heavy city gate was bolted from the inside, and then blocked with many heavy objects, making it impossible for ordinary people to open it!

"How could this happen? What should I do...?"

A group of soldiers banged hard dozens of times but could not open the city gate, and there was no movement inside. Moore knelt on the ground and started wailing.

As King Jialuo said, why not give in to the Qin army and give them the rest?

No!

As long as the Qin army is willing to leave, Jilingjia City will be given to them!

So the army would not be destroyed now, and even he would be killed by the Qin army's weapons on the battlefield!

"Da da da……"

The sound of Maxim's attack sounded behind them, and the distance got closer and closer. The panic on the faces of the soldiers became even worse, and they banged against the city gate crazily.

However, it didn't help at all.

In the end, More chose to surrender.

At least I can save my life!

Those generals who rushed in front don’t even know where their bodies are now!

The Mauryan Dynasty had a large population, but it only had so many troops at its disposal!

If even these troops cannot stop the Qin army, it means that the Mauryan Dynasty is over!

The remaining troops surrendered, and Han Xin also ordered a ceasefire, and controlled all the prisoners in batches!

After some indiscriminate bombing, only a few of the Ten Thousand Xiang Army were bombed.

The 500,000-strong army always followed the Xiang Army and did not move forward, so not many were killed, and most of them died from Maxim.

There must be about 200,000 people alive!

Due to the large number of prisoners, Han Xin divided half of the army to guard them.

Clean the battlefield with all the rest!

Many people escaped from Nalanda City, and the news spread like a plague.

It didn’t take long for it to spread to all directions of the Maurya Dynasty!

Fahrenheit City is not far from Nalanda and was the first to receive the news!
