Shatilie nervously said to Moton: "There is an ambush, let's leave quickly."

Mao Dun looked up to the sky and laughed: "So what if there is an ambush? Look at the smoke and dust, there are only tens of thousands of people. But I have an army of millions, and even one person can trample them to death with one kick."

Shatilie said quietly: "You'd better look back."

Mao Dun looked back and saw that his army of millions was escaping.

The well-equipped soldiers of the Peacock Kingdom had long since taken off their armor, thrown away their bows and arrows, and fled to their hometowns in a swarm.

There were so many of them that they were as black as a flood that burst a dam.

Da Qin's soldiers couldn't even encircle them and could only let them flee in all directions.

Modun's eyes darkened: "These bunch of mud can't hold up the wall..."

He said to Shatilie beside him: "It doesn't matter, we still have tens of thousands of people brought by the Huns."

Shatilie said quietly: "These tens of thousands of people also fled."

Modun turned around and saw, isn't it?

Originally, these tens of thousands of people could fight, but being carried by the million-strong army of the Peacock Kingdom, they could not help but escape.

After all...it's terrible to walk against the crowd. It's easy to get into a stampede.

What's more, the efficiency of information transmission on the battlefield is low, and people often follow the people behind, left, and right in a daze. When others rush, you rush too; when others retreat, you retreat too.

Now a million-strong army suddenly turned around and fled. These people from the Huns had no reason not to leave.

Modun almost fell off his horse. He took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter. I still have three thousand dead soldiers. As long as I kill the opposing coach, I still have a chance to save the defeat."

Then, Mao Dun shot an arrow at Li Xin in the distance.

Li Xin, out of range.

But it doesn't matter, Mao Dun's purpose is not to shoot Li Xin to death, but to take Ming Di with him. When the time comes, the three thousand dead soldiers will follow them by themselves.

The arrow came to Li Xin with a shrill howl.

When it was about ten feet away from Li Xin, it fell to the ground with a clatter.

To be able to ejaculate here, Mao Dun had done his best.

But this is enough.

After the three thousand dead soldiers got the signal, they rushed over with red eyes and desperate for their lives.

A pawn picked up the arrow and gave it to Li Xin.

Li Xin looked at the three thousand dead soldiers in the distance and said to the people behind him: "The crossbowmen are ready."

Therefore, the crossbow was aimed at these dead soldiers. As long as they entered the shooting range, they would be shot into sieves within a few minutes.

Li Shui looked at the arrow in Li Xin's hand and suddenly said, "This is Ming Dy."

Li Xin asked in confusion: "What is Mingdi?"

Li Shui said: "This arrow shoots out with sound."

Li Xin suddenly realized: "Is that the howl just now? I was still wondering where this sound came from."

Then, Li Xin bent his bow and pointed an arrow at the sky: "Let me see if there is any sound."

Then he let go, and the arrow flew into the air.

As expected, the arrow carried a shrill howl. It passed over the three thousand dead soldiers in a parabola and landed in front of Mao Dun.

Before Mao Dun realized what was going on, he saw the three thousand dead soldiers who had just rushed halfway back.

They were armed with steel knives and chopped Mo Dun into a pulp.

Shatilie was stunned and shouted: "Kill them, kill them."

The personal guards around Shatilie joined the battle group one after another and began to kill the dead soldiers who rebelled.

A quarter of an hour later, only the scarred Shatilie and two or three Huns were left on the battlefield.

Looking at the majestic Qin soldiers, they suddenly looked up to the sky and cried.

Shatilie shouted loudly: "I have already suffered humiliation once, and I can't live an ignoble life again this time."

Then he put the knife to his neck.

"It's so cold." This was Shatilie's first feeling.

He wanted to commit suicide, but he couldn't.

So Shatilie roared to the Huns beside him: "Help me."

After yelling, he felt a little embarrassed, so he added: "There were too many people killed just now, and my hands are a little weak."

The Huns next to him responded and chopped off Shatilie's head.

Then he committed suicide himself.

There was only one Huns left on the battlefield.

He looked around blankly, then fell to his knees with a plop, shouting loudly: "I surrender to Da Qin."

There is only one Huns left, so there is no need to pretend to be a warrior. Without companions to laugh at, you can be a coward as much as you like.

It took less than half an hour for everything to settle.

Li Xin looked around blankly, and then said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, am I not dreaming? Just now I destroyed the Huns again?"

Li Shui hummed: "And this time it went more smoothly."

Li Xin pinched the flesh on his body and grinned in pain: "Yeah, it went really well."

Many soldiers in the army were also pinching themselves, and everyone was a little unbelievable.

Here... aren't there a million troops here?

Aren’t there vicious Huns here?

How come they were completely defeated before anyone fired an arrow?

This time, it was really a battle without bloodshed.

Li Xin pointed to the Huns kneeling on the ground and said, "Tied."

A soldier came over with a rope and tied up the Huns.

During this process, the Huns did not struggle at all. He behaved submissively and behaved very well.

Li Xin felt a little bored and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, let's go to the Peacock Kingdom?"

Li Shui hummed.

The Huns were tied up and put on a cart.

He was still shouting: "General, general, I am a Hun noble, I am useful to you."

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.

The Xiongnu have been exterminated. Who are the aristocrats and non-aristocratic?

The armies of Li Shui and Li Xin entered the Peacock Kingdom in mighty force.

Along the way, every city opened its gates and respectfully welcomed the Qin soldiers.

After all, they had already seen the collapse of a million-strong army.

In the eyes of these people, the Qin soldiers were like gods descending to earth, and they effortlessly defeated a million-strong army.

In this case, each city should take the initiative to submit to avoid suffering.

After Li Shui figured out the thoughts of the city lords, he said with emotion: "They don't understand their soldiers very well, and they were deceived so miserably."

Li Xin said: "It is also possible that he knew his soldiers too well, so he made the right choice."

Not long after they entered the capital of the Maurya Kingdom, a group of gorgeously dressed people came to see them.

Li Shui and Li Xin stood on the high steps and asked calmly: "Who are you?"

This group of people is simply the most courageous people in the Peacock Kingdom.

They said without being humble or condescending: "We are priests, nobles among Brahmins, the highest varna, and we are responsible for conveying God's will."

These people looked at Li Shui and Li Xin and said quietly: "Two generals, although you have conquered the land of the Peacock Kingdom, you cannot conquer the heart of the Peacock Kingdom."

"If you want to be a Kshatriya who rules this land, you need God's canonization. And God's will to canonize you needs to be proclaimed with our mouths."

The Brahmin looked at Li Xin with some pride: "General, are you willing to serve me, the Brahmin?"

Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion: "What does he mean? Why can't I understand?"

Li Shui said: "Isn't this simple? They said that only people certified by God can rule this land. And they are the spokespersons of God, so you have to respect them and listen to their words."

Li Xin snorted: "Are you asking me to be a puppet?"

Then, he kicked the nearest priest down the steps.

The remaining people screamed in surprise.

Li Xin said quietly: "My brother is an immortal. Do I still need your mouth to convey the immortal's words?"

The other priests were frightened and ran away with their heads in their hands.

These priests suddenly realized that things might really change this time.

In the past, when foreign enemies invaded, it didn't matter. It was enough to turn the new ruler into a Kshatriya. No matter who comes, their power will not be affected.

Even because the new king's foundation was unstable and he needed their support, he doubled down on wooing them and gave them greater power.

But this time they discovered that these invaders actually came with their own priests.

This... what should I do?

In panic, these priests began to plot how to maintain their power under the new king.

In the end, they felt that power cannot rely on charity from others and must be earned by oneself.

Therefore he ordered his disciples to summon the lowly Vaishyas and Shudras. Let them form an army and destroy foreign enemies.

The priests were very confident. They knew that the million-strong army of Maurya was defeated not because the soldiers were bad, but because they did not want to sacrifice their lives for the Huns.

My own Maurya King has never protected him through life and death, so why should I kill you to death for a few outsiders and people?

These people of the Peacock Kingdom have their own philosophy of survival.

This time, the priests recruited these soldiers in the name of religion.

The priests said this was God's will.

These soldiers have no culture and are all illiterate. The more such a person is, the more he likes to worship and worship gods.

Therefore, after the priests said that this was God's will, they eagerly waited for them to pick up crude weapons and rush into the residence of Li Shui and Li Xin desperately.

However, the soldiers did not move. Instead, you look at me and I look at you, with big eyes and small eyes.

The priest was a little unhappy and said angrily: "Why don't you go?"

Finally someone said: "God, is that what you said? There is a true god among the people of Qin. I have never heard of him giving such an order."

Some people simply took out a wooden figure and started worshiping it on the spot.

On this wooden figure is written the word "Exile to Immortal" in Qin language.

This thing looks a bit like the curse technique of the Central Plains, but the meaning it expresses is completely different.

When the priests saw this scene, they were completely in despair.

These ignorant people... they absorb foreign gods so quickly.

Soon, Li Shui and Li Xin issued some orders.

They told the people of the Peacock Kingdom that the Emperor of Qin was the true god and the emperor among the gods.

In the future, this land will be directly ruled by gods and priests will no longer be needed.

The position of these priests was in jeopardy, and they were in constant fear.

Fortunately, the priest has a noble status and usually makes a lot of money. Their family was very wealthy, with countless gold and silver treasures and a lot of land, which together accounted for nearly half of the entire country.

So these priests discussed it and decided to give gold and silver to the Mauryan soldiers and their retainers to encourage them to rebel.

Lishui joined the worship of the people of the Peacock Kingdom as a god. After all, the time was relatively short, and some people did not recognize it yet.

Therefore, some of the soldiers took gold and silver and expressed their willingness to serve.

So, these priests gathered 30,000 people and began to attack the residences of Li Xin and Li Shui.

This attack seemed massive, but it was crushed by Li Xin within a quarter of an hour.

And taking the opportunity of the attack, the Qin people showed off their advanced weapons.

Telescopes that can see the movements of enemies thousands of miles away, firecrackers that can make thunderous sounds...

As a result, the people of Peacock Kingdom believed in Li Shui even more.

Seeing that this god can control thunder and lightning, what is this if not a god?

As a result, the worship of Lishui spread throughout the Peacock Kingdom within a few days.

The defeat of the priests also made the people think that the gods had abandoned these greedy priests. Now that the gods will directly rule this land, there is no need for these priests to serve as messengers between mortals and gods.

When the reputation of the priests was discredited, Li Shui and Li Xin announced that they would divide the land of the rebellious priests equally among the poor.

For a time, the people burst into tears of gratitude. Be grateful to Da Qin.

At this time, even if Li Shui and Li Xin did not have tiger and wolf troops under their command, they were willing to let the Qin people be kings.

…………

The situation in the Peacock Kingdom has completely stabilized. Li Shui and Li Xin have sent people to Xianyang to send battle reports and request the emperor to send officials.

The battle report has not yet been sent to Xianyang, and there are already many rumors in Xianyang City.

Some people say that the Peacock Kingdom's millions of troops were so powerful that Li Shui and Li Xin's troops could not resist them. They were defeated and completely defeated.

Some people say that Li Shui and Li Xin have died in foreign lands.

The common people spread such rumors mainly due to the influence of the courtiers.

The court officials were relatively well-informed, and they also understood every move of Li Shui and Li Xin.

In their view, the Huns and Maurya had formed an alliance. But Li Shui and Li Xin were still enjoying themselves, wandering east and west in Xianyang City.

They even took the initiative to let go of the Xiongnu Kingdom's craftsman Matt.

Later, these two men organized their armaments and set off with tens of thousands of people.

But...the Peacock Kingdom has an army of millions. Aren't these tens of thousands of Qin soldiers going to die?

Thinking back to the careless looks of Li Shui and Li Xin, isn't it inevitable that they will lose this time?

Therefore, the courtiers were worried and frowned all day long. They even began to secretly discuss what would happen if Da Qin was defeated?

The speculations of these courtiers were overheard by their servants. These servants told their friends and friends to show off their well-informed information.

And these people passed it on to more people.

And in the process of dissemination, the news becomes more and more distorted.

Some people even say that they have seen the coffins of the Exalted Immortal and Li Xin in the Western Regions.

Others say that the court is already preparing for a marriage and is sending Princess Weiyang out to marry Shatilie.

After all, Shatilie had expressed his admiration for the princess before when he was on a mission to Da Qin. At this time, it is most appropriate to use the princess to appease him and appease the Huns.

Seventy percent of the people in Xianyang City felt sorry for Princess Weiyang.

After all, it was too unfair for such a talented princess to marry a Huns for the sake of the people of the world.

The remaining three people were a little lucky. Fortunately, Shatilie has already been castrated. In this way, at least Princess Weiyang's innocence will not be stained by the Huns.
