"What did you say? The five hundred thousand army was destroyed again?"
After hearing the news, King Jialuo's eyes darkened with anger and he fainted.
After a lot of tossing, he finally woke up again!
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
As soon as King Jia Luo opened his eyelids, several ministers began to persuade him with mournful faces.
"Where is the Elephant Army? How is the Elephant Army?"
After opening his eyelids, King Jialuo's first sentence was to ask about the situation of the Xiang Army.
The elephant army is the basis for the continuous expansion of their Maurya Dynasty and their confidence.
As long as the elephant army still exists, the Mauryan Dynasty will still exist.
If something goes wrong with the Xiang Army, then...
"Your Majesty...!"
However, everyone just looked sad and no one answered his question.
"What? Could it be that even the elephant army was defeated?"
King Jialuo suddenly sat up and asked with two frightened eyes.
"According to...according to the news coming back now, this is indeed the case!"
The ministers were forced to have no choice but to tell the truth tremblingly.
"What? How is this possible? The elephant army of our Maurya Dynasty is invincible, not to mention that it is protected by heavy armor. No sword can harm it!"
King Jia Luo could not accept this fact and shouted like crazy.
"Your Majesty, according to the news, the Qin army does not use swords at all!"
"Without a sword?"
"That's right! It is said that all the weapons they used were explosive weapons! The Ten Thousand Xiang Army was blown to pieces, and even the heavy armor on their bodies was torn open!"
"This this……"
King Jialuo felt difficulty breathing, choked twice, fell down again, and fell unconscious.
…
Han Xin, on his side, led his troops into the city after cleaning up the battlefield outside the city.
The city gate that Moore and the others could not open no matter what, was blasted open by a cannon.
Peng Yue wanted to fire a few more cannons and tear open a few holes in the city wall to facilitate the soldiers entering the city.
But he was stopped by Han Xin!
"General, there are so many of us, and we are taking nearly 200,000 prisoners with us. If we all enter through the city gate, will we have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?"
Peng Yue pursed his lips, seeming a little disappointed.
"The purpose of shelling the city wall before was to enter the city faster and control the soldiers in the city! But when we entered Bodhgaya City, there were far fewer people! Rajgir City was even more pitiful! It is estimated that in Nalanda City, there are At this time, there is not even a single figure left!”
Han Xin touched his smooth chin and looked at Nalanda City in front of him.
"Huh? It seems to be true! Why is this?"
After he said this, Peng Yue realized that this was really the case.
"Why else? The strength of our Great Qin has been known to the people of the Maurya Dynasty. Seeing that the situation is not good, they all ran away...!"
Han Xin smiled and continued: "After seeing that the enemy troops were defeated, they all turned around and fled into the city, but they still couldn't get in! It is estimated that someone in the city deliberately blocked the door to prevent them from entering the city, thereby delaying time and allowing the people in the city to Escape smoothly!"
"Oh! That's it!"
Peng Yue and others suddenly realized.
"These niggas are so uninteresting. When they see something is not going well, they run away immediately! Before leaving, they don't forget to cheat on the people outside!"
"Yes! If this were left in our Daqin, he would be cut into pieces if caught!"
"This time we have to thank the people in the city. If it weren't for them, we probably wouldn't have captured so many prisoners!"
"Yeah! That's right! After these guys escape back to the city, we will definitely be bombarded. There are really not many people who can survive...!"
A big hole was blown out of the city gate. Han Xin led everyone and talked while walking.
"It would be a pity to blow up the city wall again when we know there is no one in the city. Why not stay here and use it as a garrison for the future garrison!"
"Yes! The general is right!"
Although he guessed that there was no one in the city, Han Xin still ordered his people to search carefully, not missing any corner.
…
Just as the army was sweeping the city, ten steamships slowly docked at the northernmost edge of the Bay of Bengal.
To the west here is the Mauryan Dynasty, and to the east is a place where uncivilized savages live!
Moreover, this is also the place closest to Fahrenheit City!
"It's not easy, but we're finally here!"
After the steamer stopped, everyone on the deck breathed a long sigh of relief and continued to move their muscles.
The leader held a telescope and looked carefully at the shore!
"General Cao, don't you need to be so careful? When we met other naval officers in Jilingjia Realm, didn't they say that the war was going very smoothly? According to time calculation, General Han and the others should be approaching Huashi City by now, right? ?”
A soldier with black hair and yellow skin wearing armor raised his hands and said.
"No! The smoother the war progresses, the more the people of the Maurya Dynasty hate us and are careless!"
The young man in the lead shook his head and still moved the telescope left and right to observe the situation on the shore.
He is Cao Shen.
The reason why he led 10,000 soldiers here was to deliver supplies to the army led by Han Xin, and at the same time deliver the newly developed telegraph machine!
There has been no news from them for nearly two months, and everyone in the court is anxious!
So while he was delivering supplies, Ying Zheng ordered him to bring two telegraph machines!
In the future, if there are any movements in the army or if they encounter any troublesome things, they can report them in time to make them feel at ease!
According to Han Xin and others' plan before setting off for the expedition, they were to land in Jilinga City.
So they set their destination there as well.
Sure enough, hundreds of steamships docked steadily on the shore!
Seeing the familiar ship, the Daqin soldiers guarding the seaside waved their hands and told them about the war in Jilinga City!
Cao Shen wanted to leave some supplies to them, but they said they wanted nothing.
Pointing in the direction of Jilinga City, he said that a lot of food had been seized there, enough to eat until Han Xin and others returned victorious!
As for bullets, they haven't used any yet, and they don't need any!
So Cao Shen only stayed for a short time, then took a boat with the soldiers and headed north!
Logging in here is the fastest way to meet Han Xin and others!
“It’s really strange that there’s not even a single person in such a large area of sea!”
Just like when Han Xin first docked, Cao Shen looked at it for a long time and found nothing.
If it were Da Qin, not to mention the shore, there would at least be a few fishing boats in the sea, right?
However, both on the shore and in the sea, everything is clean.
"General Cao, what should we do? Should we go ashore, or should we stay on the ship and observe?"
The soldiers under his command asked.
"No matter what, we have guns in our hands anyway, so we can go ashore directly and try to find out where Han Xin and Wang Li are and join them!"
"yes!"
After Cao Shen gave the order, the soldiers responded with joy, lowered the side of the ship and jumped to the shore.
Although they didn't encounter any accidents at sea, it took them more than half a month to reach here.
The soldiers were tired of staying around for a long time, and they kept having fun on the shore!
Later, Cao Shen arranged to leave a small group of people to guard the steamer, and moved down some supplies and two telegraph machines!
The rest will stay here for the time being, and after they meet up with Han Xin and others, they can move the rest together!
